(To The Editor, "The Hong Kong
Daily Press")
Sir-Informed Italian circles naively state that Mussolini's Far Eastern policy is based upon the
clear-cut desire for embarrassing
England in the Far East. Among such statements was one made by an Italian correspondent who told the story of how Italy was bottled up in the Mediterranean sea with her exits controlled by Britain, and that in order to escape from this inland, maritime prison, the Italian Government was forced to dubble in Far Eastern politics.

solini intends.
